How to use

Mount the patch panel into a standard 19-inch rack occupying 1U of space. Terminate each Cat6 S/UTP cable to the corresponding RJ45 keystone or IDC blocks following either the EIA/TIA-568A or EIA/TIA-568B wiring standard. Route and secure shielded cable drains and grounding according to your facility's grounding practice to preserve the shield continuity. Use standard patch cords to connect active equipment to the front-facing RJ45 ports.

Recommendations

For best performance, install within a properly grounded rack, maintain recommended bend radii for Cat6 S/UTP cables, and use compatible shielded patch cords. Follow your facility’s cabling and grounding procedures to ensure optimal signal integrity and compliance with EIA/TIA standards.
